Commercial Description:
Big malty flavors, including licorice and chocolate, are balanced with a moderate hop profile. Brewed with copious amounts of prized malts and flaked oats, the Barley Wine is so strong that it has to be aged for several months before we can bottle it. Like a fine wine, it will continue to improve with age up to 2 years after bottling (If kept cool).

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a clear deep brown with a dark tanned head. Nose with caramels and chocolate and hoppy side-notes. Taste is round and sweet with nutty notes and burned malts. The finish is clearly alcohol-like... maybe too much but with nice hoppy notes.

Poured a nuttty brown with virtually no head. Some yeast sediment noted. Heavy aroma of sweet malt with a note of chocolate in the background. Palate was slightly oily and slightly astringent. Sweet, but not as heavily so as other barleywines I’ve had. Some chocolate notes and a slight licorice aftertaste as it warmed a bit.

Bottle. Pours a ruby brown body with a quickly diminishing head. Nice dark fruit flavor of raisin and grapes. The etoh makes it come off a bit vinous, a nice viscous mouthfeel very sweet. Good beer.

Pours ruby red with thick tan head. Aroma of malt and dark fruit. Taste is very sweet with heavy notes of dark fruits ,maybe plums. Big alcohol finish. Decent.

Reddish brown. Smooth, sweet malty aroma with stewed plums. Taste is heavy and sweet, almost cloyingly so, full of dark, figgy fruitiness, alcohol, and black, chewy liquorice. There’s a thick, lingering dryness at the finish. Should have kept this one for Christmas.
